One concerns this photo, taken from a hill of a massive explosion. The photo went viral online this week, with people saying it was of the fatal fertilizer plant explosion that happened Wednesday in West, a town north of Waco.

The only problem? It's not a photo from West.

It's actually from a refinery explosion from Big Spring in 2008.

Another reminder to get the facts before your repost photos and rumors on your various social media profiles.
